A low-level client representing Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)
Welcome to the Amazon SQS API Reference .
Amazon SQS is a reliable, highly-scalable hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between applications or microservices. Amazon SQS moves data between distributed application components and helps you decouple these components.
For information on the permissions you need to use this API, see Identity and access management in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.
You can use Amazon Web Services SDKs to access Amazon SQS using your favorite programming language. The SDKs perform tasks such as the following automatically:
Additional information
import boto3
client = boto3.client('sqs')
These are the available methods:
Adds a permission to a queue for a specific principal . This allows sharing access to the queue.
When you create a queue, you have full control access rights for the queue. Only you, the owner of the queue, can grant or deny permissions to the queue. For more information about these permissions, see Allow Developers to Write Messages to a Shared Queue in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Note
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:
&AttributeName.1=first
&AttributeName.2=second
Note
Cross-account permissions don't apply to this action. For more information, see Grant cross-account permissions to a role and a user name in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .

Request Syntax
response = client.add_permission(
QueueUrl='string',
Label='string',
AWSAccountIds=[
'string',
],
Actions=[
'string',
]
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to which permissions are added.
Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
[REQUIRED]
The unique identification of the permission you're setting (for example, AliceSendMessage ). Maximum 80 characters. Allowed characters include alphanumeric characters, hyphens (- ), and underscores (_ ).
[REQUIRED]
The account numbers of the principals who are to receive permission. For information about locating the account identification, see Your Amazon Web Services Identifiers in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
[REQUIRED]
The action the client wants to allow for the specified principal. Valid values: the name of any action or * .
For more information about these actions, see Overview of Managing Access Permissions to Your Amazon Simple Queue Service Resource in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Specifying SendMessage , DeleteMessage , or ChangeMessageVisibility for ActionName.n also grants permissions for the corresponding batch versions of those actions: SendMessageBatch , DeleteMessageBatch , and ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch .
None
Exceptions
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Changes the visibility timeout of a specified message in a queue to a new value. The default visibility timeout for a message is 30 seconds. The minimum is 0 seconds. The maximum is 12 hours. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
For example, you have a message with a visibility timeout of 5 minutes. After 3 minutes, you call ChangeMessageVisibility with a timeout of 10 minutes. You can continue to call ChangeMessageVisibility to extend the visibility timeout to the maximum allowed time. If you try to extend the visibility timeout beyond the maximum, your request is rejected.
An Amazon SQS message has three basic states:
A message is considered to be stored after it is sent to a queue by a producer, but not yet received from the queue by a consumer (that is, between states 1 and 2). There is no limit to the number of stored messages. A message is considered to be in flight after it is received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue (that is, between states 2 and 3). There is a limit to the number of inflight messages.
Limits that apply to inflight messages are unrelated to the unlimited number of stored messages.
For most standard queues (depending on queue traffic and message backlog), there can be a maximum of approximately 120,000 inflight messages (received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue). If you reach this limit, Amazon SQS returns the OverLimit error message. To avoid reaching the limit, you should delete messages from the queue after they're processed. You can also increase the number of queues you use to process your messages. To request a limit increase, file a support request .
For FIFO queues, there can be a maximum of 20,000 inflight messages (received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue). If you reach this limit, Amazon SQS returns no error messages.
Warning
If you attempt to set the VisibilityTimeout to a value greater than the maximum time left, Amazon SQS returns an error. Amazon SQS doesn't automatically recalculate and increase the timeout to the maximum remaining time.
Unlike with a queue, when you change the visibility timeout for a specific message the timeout value is applied immediately but isn't saved in memory for that message. If you don't delete a message after it is received, the visibility timeout for the message reverts to the original timeout value (not to the value you set using the ChangeMessageVisibility action) the next time the message is received.

Request Syntax
response = client.change_message_visibility(
QueueUrl='string',
ReceiptHandle='string',
VisibilityTimeout=123
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue whose message's visibility is changed.
Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
[REQUIRED]
The receipt handle associated with the message whose visibility timeout is changed. This parameter is returned by the `` ReceiveMessage `` action.
[REQUIRED]
The new value for the message's visibility timeout (in seconds). Values range: 0 to 43200 . Maximum: 12 hours.
None
Exceptions
Changes the visibility timeout of multiple messages. This is a batch version of `` ChangeMessageVisibility .`` The result of the action on each message is reported individually in the response. You can send up to 10 `` ChangeMessageVisibility `` requests with each ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch action.
Warning
Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of 200 .
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:
&AttributeName.1=first
&AttributeName.2=second

Encloses a receipt handle and an entry id for each message in `` ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch .``
Warning
All of the following list parameters must be prefixed with ChangeMessageVisibilityBatchRequestEntry.n , where n is an integer value starting with 1 . For example, a parameter list for this action might look like this:
&ChangeMessageVisibilityBatchRequestEntry.1.Id=change_visibility_msg_2
&ChangeMessageVisibilityBatchRequestEntry.1.ReceiptHandle=your_receipt_handle
&ChangeMessageVisibilityBatchRequestEntry.1.VisibilityTimeout=45
An identifier for this particular receipt handle used to communicate the result.

Creates a new standard or FIFO queue. You can pass one or more attributes in the request. Keep the following in mind:
Note
You can't change the queue type after you create it and you can't convert an existing standard queue into a FIFO queue. You must either create a new FIFO queue for your application or delete your existing standard queue and recreate it as a FIFO queue. For more information, see Moving From a Standard Queue to a FIFO Queue in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
To successfully create a new queue, you must provide a queue name that adheres to the limits related to queues and is unique within the scope of your queues.
Note
After you create a queue, you must wait at least one second after the queue is created to be able to use the queue.
To get the queue URL, use the `` GetQueueUrl `` action. `` GetQueueUrl `` requires only the QueueName parameter. be aware of existing queue names:
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:

Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
A map of attributes with their corresponding values.
The following lists the names, descriptions, and values of the special request parameters that the CreateQueue action uses:
The following attributes apply only to dead-letter queues:
Note
The dead-letter queue of a FIFO queue must also be a FIFO queue. Similarly, the dead-letter queue of a standard queue must also be a standard queue.
The following attributes apply only to server-side-encryption :
The following attributes apply only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues :
The following attributes apply only to high throughput for FIFO queues :
To enable high throughput for FIFO queues, do the following:
If you set these attributes to anything other than the values shown for enabling high throughput, normal throughput is in effect and deduplication occurs as specified.
For information on throughput quotas, see Quotas related to messages in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Add cost allocation tags to the specified Amazon SQS queue. For an overview, see Tagging Your Amazon SQS Queues in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
When you use queue tags, keep the following guidelines in mind:
For a full list of tag restrictions, see Quotas related to queues in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Note
To be able to tag a queue on creation, you must have the sqs:CreateQueue and sqs:TagQueue permissions.

dict
Response Syntax
{
'QueueUrl': 'string'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
Returns the QueueUrl attribute of the created queue.
QueueUrl (string) --
The URL of the created Amazon SQS queue.
Exceptions
Deletes the specified message from the specified queue. To select the message to delete, use the ReceiptHandle of the message (not the MessageId which you receive when you send the message). Amazon SQS can delete a message from a queue even if a visibility timeout setting causes the message to be locked by another consumer. Amazon SQS automatically deletes messages left in a queue longer than the retention period configured for the queue.
Note
The ReceiptHandle is associated with a specific instance of receiving a message. If you receive a message more than once, the ReceiptHandle is different each time you receive a message. When you use the DeleteMessage action, you must provide the most recently received ReceiptHandle for the message (otherwise, the request succeeds, but the message might not be deleted).
For standard queues, it is possible to receive a message even after you delete it. This might happen on rare occasions if one of the servers which stores a copy of the message is unavailable when you send the request to delete the message. The copy remains on the server and might be returned to you during a subsequent receive request. You should ensure that your application is idempotent, so that receiving a message more than once does not cause issues.

Warning
Be careful with the DeleteQueue action: When you delete a queue, any messages in the queue are no longer available.
When you delete a queue, the deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. Requests you send involving that queue during the 60 seconds might succeed. For example, a `` SendMessage `` request might succeed, but after 60 seconds the queue and the message you sent no longer exist.
When you delete a queue, you must wait at least 60 seconds before creating a queue with the same name.

Deletes the messages in a queue specified by the QueueURL parameter.
Warning
When you use the PurgeQueue action, you can't retrieve any messages deleted from a queue.
The message deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. We recommend waiting for 60 seconds regardless of your queue's size.
Messages sent to the queue before you call PurgeQueue might be received but are deleted within the next minute.
Messages sent to the queue after you call PurgeQueue might be deleted while the queue is being purged.
See also: AWS API Documentation

response = client.purge_queue(
QueueUrl='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the queue from which the PurgeQueue action deletes messages.
Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
Exceptions
Retrieves one or more messages (up to 10), from the specified queue. Using the WaitTimeSeconds parameter enables long-poll support. For more information, see Amazon SQS Long Polling in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Short poll is the default behavior where a weighted random set of machines is sampled on a ReceiveMessage call. Thus, only the messages on the sampled machines are returned. If the number of messages in the queue is small (fewer than 1,000), you most likely get fewer messages than you requested per ReceiveMessage call. If the number of messages in the queue is extremely small, you might not receive any messages in a particular ReceiveMessage response. If this happens, repeat the request.
For each message returned, the response includes the following:
The receipt handle is the identifier you must provide when deleting the message. For more information, see Queue and Message Identifiers in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
You can provide the VisibilityTimeout parameter in your request. The parameter is applied to the messages that Amazon SQS returns in the response. If you don't include the parameter, the overall visibility timeout for the queue is used for the returned messages. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
A message that isn't deleted or a message whose visibility isn't extended before the visibility timeout expires counts as a failed receive. Depending on the configuration of the queue, the message might be sent to the dead-letter queue.
Note
In the future, new attributes might be added. If you write code that calls this action, we recommend that you structure your code so that it can handle new attributes gracefully.

)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue from which messages are received.
Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
A list of attributes that need to be returned along with each message. These attributes include:
The name of the message attribute, where N is the index.
When using ReceiveMessage , you can send a list of attribute names to receive, or you can return all of the attributes by specifying All or .* in your request. You can also use all message attributes starting with a prefix, for example bar.* .
The duration (in seconds) for which the call waits for a message to arrive in the queue before returning. If a message is available, the call returns sooner than WaitTimeSeconds . If no messages are available and the wait time expires, the call returns successfully with an empty list of messages.
Warning
To avoid HTTP errors, ensure that the HTTP response timeout for ReceiveMessage requests is longer than the WaitTimeSeconds parameter. For example, with the Java SDK, you can set HTTP transport settings using the NettyNioAsyncHttpClient for asynchronous clients, or the ApacheHttpClient for synchronous clients.
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of ReceiveMessage calls. If a networking issue occurs after a ReceiveMessage action, and instead of a response you receive a generic error, it is possible to retry the same action with an identical ReceiveRequestAttemptId to retrieve the same set of messages, even if their visibility timeout has not yet expired.
Warning
If a caller of the ReceiveMessage action still processes messages when the visibility timeout expires and messages become visible, another worker consuming from the same queue can receive the same messages and therefore process duplicates. Also, if a consumer whose message processing time is longer than the visibility timeout tries to delete the processed messages, the action fails with an error. To mitigate this effect, ensure that your application observes a safe threshold before the visibility timeout expires and extend the visibility timeout as necessary.
The maximum length of ReceiveRequestAttemptId is 128 characters. ReceiveRequestAttemptId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).
For best practices of using ReceiveRequestAttemptId , see Using the ReceiveRequestAttemptId Request Parameter in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .

This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of sent messages. If a message with a particular MessageDeduplicationId is sent successfully, any messages sent with the same MessageDeduplicationId are accepted successfully but aren't delivered during the 5-minute deduplication interval. For more information, see Exactly-once processing in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Note
The MessageDeduplicationId is available to the consumer of the message (this can be useful for troubleshooting delivery issues).
If a message is sent successfully but the acknowledgement is lost and the message is resent with the same MessageDeduplicationId after the deduplication interval, Amazon SQS can't detect duplicate messages.
Amazon SQS continues to keep track of the message deduplication ID even after the message is received and deleted.
The maximum length of MessageDeduplicationId is 128 characters. MessageDeduplicationId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).
For best practices of using MessageDeduplicationId , see Using the MessageDeduplicationId Property in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The tag that specifies that a message belongs to a specific message group. Messages that belong to the same message group are processed in a FIFO manner (however, messages in different message groups might be processed out of order). To interleave multiple ordered streams within a single queue, use MessageGroupId values (for example, session data for multiple users). In this scenario, multiple consumers can process the queue, but the session data of each user is processed in a FIFO fashion.
The length of MessageGroupId is 128 characters. Valid values: alphanumeric characters and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~) .
For best practices of using MessageGroupId , see Using the MessageGroupId Property in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .

The length of SequenceNumber is 128 bits. SequenceNumber continues to increase for a particular MessageGroupId .
Exceptions
Delivers up to ten messages to the specified queue. This is a batch version of `` SendMessage .`` For a FIFO queue, multiple messages within a single batch are enqueued in the order they are sent.
The result of sending each message is reported individually in the response. Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of 200 .
The maximum allowed individual message size and the maximum total payload size (the sum of the individual lengths of all of the batched messages) are both 256 KB (262,144 bytes).
Warning
A message can include only XML, JSON, and unformatted text. The following Unicode characters are allowed:
#x9 | #xA | #xD | #x20 to #xD7FF | #xE000 to #xFFFD | #x10000 to #x10FFFF
Any characters not included in this list will be rejected. For more information, see the W3C specification for characters .
If you don't specify the DelaySeconds parameter for an entry, Amazon SQS uses the default value for the queue.
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:
&AttributeName.1=first
&AttributeName.2=second

Actions
Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
Creates a new standard or FIFO queue. You can pass one or more attributes in the request. Keep the following in mind:
Note
You can't change the queue type after you create it and you can't convert an existing standard queue into a FIFO queue. You must either create a new FIFO queue for your application or delete your existing standard queue and recreate it as a FIFO queue. For more information, see Moving From a Standard Queue to a FIFO Queue in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
To successfully create a new queue, you must provide a queue name that adheres to the limits related to queues and is unique within the scope of your queues.
Note
After you create a queue, you must wait at least one second after the queue is created to be able to use the queue.
To get the queue URL, use the `` GetQueueUrl `` action. `` GetQueueUrl `` requires only the QueueName parameter. be aware of existing queue names:

You can also append custom labels. For more information, see Amazon SQS Message Attributes in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
(string) --
A unique identifier for the message. A MessageId is considered unique across all accounts for an extended period of time.
Actions
Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
Changes the visibility timeout of a specified message in a queue to a new value. The default visibility timeout for a message is 30 seconds. The minimum is 0 seconds. The maximum is 12 hours. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
For example, you have a message with a visibility timeout of 5 minutes. After 3 minutes, you call ChangeMessageVisibility with a timeout of 10 minutes. You can continue to call ChangeMessageVisibility to extend the visibility timeout to the maximum allowed time. If you try to extend the visibility timeout beyond the maximum, your request is rejected.
An Amazon SQS message has three basic states:
A message is considered to be stored after it is sent to a queue by a producer, but not yet received from the queue by a consumer (that is, between states 1 and 2). There is no limit to the number of stored messages. A message is considered to be in flight after it is received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue (that is, between states 2 and 3). There is a limit to the number of inflight messages.
Limits that apply to inflight messages are unrelated to the unlimited number of stored messages.
For most standard queues (depending on queue traffic and message backlog), there can be a maximum of approximately 120,000 inflight messages (received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue). If you reach this limit, Amazon SQS returns the OverLimit error message. To avoid reaching the limit, you should delete messages from the queue after they're processed. You can also increase the number of queues you use to process your messages. To request a limit increase, file a support request .
For FIFO queues, there can be a maximum of 20,000 inflight messages (received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue). If you reach this limit, Amazon SQS returns no error messages.
Warning
If you attempt to set the VisibilityTimeout to a value greater than the maximum time left, Amazon SQS returns an error. Amazon SQS doesn't automatically recalculate and increase the timeout to the maximum remaining time.
Unlike with a queue, when you change the visibility timeout for a specific message the timeout value is applied immediately but isn't saved in memory for that message. If you don't delete a message after it is received, the visibility timeout for the message reverts to the original timeout value (not to the value you set using the ChangeMessageVisibility action) the next time the message is received.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = message.change_visibility(
VisibilityTimeout=123
)
[REQUIRED]
The new value for the message's visibility timeout (in seconds). Values range: 0 to 43200 . Maximum: 12 hours.
Deletes the specified message from the specified queue. To select the message to delete, use the ReceiptHandle of the message (not the MessageId which you receive when you send the message). Amazon SQS can delete a message from a queue even if a visibility timeout setting causes the message to be locked by another consumer. Amazon SQS automatically deletes messages left in a queue longer than the retention period configured for the queue.
Note
The ReceiptHandle is associated with a specific instance of receiving a message. If you receive a message more than once, the ReceiptHandle is different each time you receive a message. When you use the DeleteMessage action, you must provide the most recently received ReceiptHandle for the message (otherwise, the request succeeds, but the message might not be deleted).
For standard queues, it is possible to receive a message even after you delete it. This might happen on rare occasions if one of the servers which stores a copy of the message is unavailable when you send the request to delete the message. The copy remains on the server and might be returned to you during a subsequent receive request. You should ensure that your application is idempotent, so that receiving a message more than once does not cause issues.

Request Syntax
queue.load()
Deletes the messages in a queue specified by the QueueURL parameter.
Warning
When you use the PurgeQueue action, you can't retrieve any messages deleted from a queue.
The message deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. We recommend waiting for 60 seconds regardless of your queue's size.
Messages sent to the queue before you call PurgeQueue might be received but are deleted within the next minute.
Messages sent to the queue after you call PurgeQueue might be deleted while the queue is being purged.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = queue.purge()
Retrieves one or more messages (up to 10), from the specified queue. Using the WaitTimeSeconds parameter enables long-poll support. For more information, see Amazon SQS Long Polling in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Short poll is the default behavior where a weighted random set of machines is sampled on a ReceiveMessage call. Thus, only the messages on the sampled machines are returned. If the number of messages in the queue is small (fewer than 1,000), you most likely get fewer messages than you requested per ReceiveMessage call. If the number of messages in the queue is extremely small, you might not receive any messages in a particular ReceiveMessage response. If this happens, repeat the request.
For each message returned, the response includes the following:
The receipt handle is the identifier you must provide when deleting the message. For more information, see Queue and Message Identifiers in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
You can provide the VisibilityTimeout parameter in your request. The parameter is applied to the messages that Amazon SQS returns in the response. If you don't include the parameter, the overall visibility timeout for the queue is used for the returned messages. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
A message that isn't deleted or a message whose visibility isn't extended before the visibility timeout expires counts as a failed receive. Depending on the configuration of the queue, the message might be sent to the dead-letter queue.
Note
In the future, new attributes might be added. If you write code that calls this action, we recommend that you structure your code so that it can handle new attributes gracefully.

MaxNumberOfMessages=123,

ReceiveRequestAttemptId='string'
)
A list of attributes that need to be returned along with each message. These attributes include:
The name of the message attribute, where N is the index.
When using ReceiveMessage , you can send a list of attribute names to receive, or you can return all of the attributes by specifying All or .* in your request. You can also use all message attributes starting with a prefix, for example bar.* .
The duration (in seconds) for which the call waits for a message to arrive in the queue before returning. If a message is available, the call returns sooner than WaitTimeSeconds . If no messages are available and the wait time expires, the call returns successfully with an empty list of messages.
Warning
To avoid HTTP errors, ensure that the HTTP response timeout for ReceiveMessage requests is longer than the WaitTimeSeconds parameter. For example, with the Java SDK, you can set HTTP transport settings using the NettyNioAsyncHttpClient for asynchronous clients, or the ApacheHttpClient for synchronous clients.
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of ReceiveMessage calls. If a networking issue occurs after a ReceiveMessage action, and instead of a response you receive a generic error, it is possible to retry the same action with an identical ReceiveRequestAttemptId to retrieve the same set of messages, even if their visibility timeout has not yet expired.
Warning
If a caller of the ReceiveMessage action still processes messages when the visibility timeout expires and messages become visible, another worker consuming from the same queue can receive the same messages and therefore process duplicates. Also, if a consumer whose message processing time is longer than the visibility timeout tries to delete the processed messages, the action fails with an error. To mitigate this effect, ensure that your application observes a safe threshold before the visibility timeout expires and extend the visibility timeout as necessary.
The maximum length of ReceiveRequestAttemptId is 128 characters. ReceiveRequestAttemptId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).

This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of sent messages. If a message with a particular MessageDeduplicationId is sent successfully, any messages sent with the same MessageDeduplicationId are accepted successfully but aren't delivered during the 5-minute deduplication interval. For more information, see Exactly-once processing in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Note
The MessageDeduplicationId is available to the consumer of the message (this can be useful for troubleshooting delivery issues).
If a message is sent successfully but the acknowledgement is lost and the message is resent with the same MessageDeduplicationId after the deduplication interval, Amazon SQS can't detect duplicate messages.
Amazon SQS continues to keep track of the message deduplication ID even after the message is received and deleted.
The maximum length of MessageDeduplicationId is 128 characters. MessageDeduplicationId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).
For best practices of using MessageDeduplicationId , see Using the MessageDeduplicationId Property in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The tag that specifies that a message belongs to a specific message group. Messages that belong to the same message group are processed in a FIFO manner (however, messages in different message groups might be processed out of order). To interleave multiple ordered streams within a single queue, use MessageGroupId values (for example, session data for multiple users). In this scenario, multiple consumers can process the queue, but the session data of each user is processed in a FIFO fashion.
The length of MessageGroupId is 128 characters. Valid values: alphanumeric characters and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~) .
For best practices of using MessageGroupId , see Using the MessageGroupId Property in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Warning
MessageGroupId is required for FIFO queues. You can't use it for Standard queues.

The length of MessageDeduplicationId is 128 characters. MessageDeduplicationId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).
For best practices of using MessageDeduplicationId , see Using the MessageDeduplicationId Property in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The tag that specifies that a message belongs to a specific message group. Messages that belong to the same message group are processed in a FIFO manner (however, messages in different message groups might be processed out of order). To interleave multiple ordered streams within a single queue, use MessageGroupId values (for example, session data for multiple users). In this scenario, multiple consumers can process the queue, but the session data of each user is processed in a FIFO fashion.
The length of MessageGroupId is 128 characters. Valid values: alphanumeric characters and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~) .
For best practices of using MessageGroupId , see Using the MessageGroupId Property in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Warning
MessageGroupId is required for FIFO queues. You can't use it for Standard queues.

Response Structure
For each message in the batch, the response contains a `` SendMessageBatchResultEntry `` tag if the message succeeds or a `` BatchResultErrorEntry `` tag if the message fails.
A list of `` SendMessageBatchResultEntry `` items.
Encloses a MessageId for a successfully-enqueued message in a `` SendMessageBatch .``
An identifier for the message in this batch.
An identifier for the message.
An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message body string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest. For information about MD5, see RFC1321 .
An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message attribute string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest. For information about MD5, see RFC1321 .
An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message system attribute string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest. For information about MD5, see RFC1321 .
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The large, non-consecutive number that Amazon SQS assigns to each message.
The length of SequenceNumber is 128 bits. As SequenceNumber continues to increase for a particular MessageGroupId .
A list of `` BatchResultErrorEntry `` items with error details about each message that can't be enqueued.
Gives a detailed description of the result of an action on each entry in the request.
The Id of an entry in a batch request.
Specifies whether the error happened due to the caller of the batch API action.
An error code representing why the action failed on this entry.
A message explaining why the action failed on this entry.
Sets the value of one or more queue attributes. When you change a queue's attributes, the change can take up to 60 seconds for most of the attributes to propagate throughout the Amazon SQS system. Changes made to the MessageRetentionPeriod attribute can take up to 15 minutes.

[REQUIRED]
A map of attributes to set.
The following lists the names, descriptions, and values of the special request parameters that the SetQueueAttributes action uses:
The following attributes apply only to dead-letter queues:
Note
The dead-letter queue of a FIFO queue must also be a FIFO queue. Similarly, the dead-letter queue of a standard queue must also be a standard queue.
The following attributes apply only to server-side-encryption :
The following attribute applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues :
The following attributes apply only to high throughput for FIFO queues :
To enable high throughput for FIFO queues, do the following:
If you set these attributes to anything other than the values shown for enabling high throughput, normal throughput is in effect and deduplication occurs as specified.
For information on throughput quotas, see Quotas related to messages in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
Sub-resources
Sub-resources are methods that create a new instance of a child resource. This resource's identifiers get passed along to the child. For more information about sub-resources refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
Creates a Message resource.:
message = queue.Message('receipt_handle')
Collections
Collections provide an interface to iterate over and manipulate groups of resources. For more information about collections refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.
A collection of Queue resources.A Queue Collection will include all resources by default, and extreme caution should be taken when performing actions on all resources.
Creates an iterable of all Queue resources in the collection.
